You're wildly exaggerating. It takes just about 20 minutes to get from Culver City to the end of the line in Santa Monica. It doesn't even take an hour to traverse the entire Expo Line between DTLA and Santa Monica, about fifty minutes.

If Metro were able to get traffic signal priority for Expo, traveling the whole line would be about 35 minutes.

You're being down voted by people with no actual experience using LA metro rail.

It does take a long time to get from Santa Monica to Pasadena by rail due to the multiple transfers. They're working to make that a single transfer and the new line alignments should start in 2 to 3 years.

... if you live close to the Expo line. That's the thing. The feeders don't exist.

Also, the travel times are as predicted by maps. And it matches my in-person experience. But I'm glad you told me my experiences are completely wrong.
